Fans of The O.C. will always miss Summer Roberts, the cheerful and charming character that Rachel Bilson played. The actress is also known for playing another happy young woman: Zoe Hart on the drama Hart of Dixie, which aired for four seasons from 2011 until 2015.
We still love The O.C. and like keeping up with what the actors are doing today, but we're definitely glad that Rachel Bilson got a starring role on another great TV show. Watching a doctor from a big city move to a rural area and get used to a slower pace is always a good idea for a TV show or movie, and since Rachel Bilson is so bubbly, she brings a lot to this role.
